A barrier to entry into this business would the ridiculously high cost of research, development and building the drones. It’ll be hard for a new company/start up in particular to match the quality of work put in by Google into the project as they definitely would not have the financial resources and political pull that Google does.
Lengthy, rigorous and unclear regulations and requirements imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration could be a road block to the commercialization; which is Google’s main objective. The FAA has cited that the drones must be controlled by licensed pilots, which will make it terribly expensive for companies that aren’t as financially healthy as Google to implement as pilots do not come cheap.
